How can I send back an assignment after a student has submitted it?
Hi Melanie!
In the GradeBook, click the student’s score to open the Assignment Review screen. From there, click ‘Menu,’ and you’ll see an option to ‘Reassign Assignment for Student.’ This will remove the student’s most recent submission and allow them to resubmit.
I’ve been using QuaverMusic for 10? years and I love it. I also like to use student workstations so I have created Quaver assignments to provide directions and opportunities for student reflection and response. I always include a submittable so students can show me their work. I always give a grade of 100 for completed assignments just as a way to mark it “complete”. Is there a way to add a complete/incomplete option to the grades?
Is there a way for a student to see where on the rubric they scored so they can see what they need to still work on, instead of just being given the overall numerical score they received from the rubric?
Hi Krystal!
Yes, when you score a student based on an applied Rubric, the score will appear in the Assignments icon on the Student Dashboard. It will be displayed to the right of the list of assignments in the student’s account.
I hope this helps! Feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.
Can students upload written assignments from their computer to Quaver?
Hi Ms. Thompson!
That is not currently a feature offered. I’ve passed your request to our Content & Development team for consideration.
An alternative option at the moment is to send the students a Student Recording screen, where they can upload or directly record a video on their device and submit it to your gradebook. To do this, go to Resource Creation on your Dashboard and then to Student Recording. You can add this new screen to an assignment, which can then be sent to your students.
Is there a way to print out the Assessment data on a spreadsheet or other printable document?
Hi Michelle!
There is no way to print the information directly from the Assessment Data screen. I will definitely pass this request onto our content and development teams for consideration. The closest alternative would be when you are on the GradeBook home page, viewing the columns of assignments and rows of students, click on Menu > Download GradeBook. Then you can print or download as a .CSV data file.
